AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE government has insisted that it will continue instituting legal actions against criminals contravening the Cyber Crime Act, in order to ensure that the social media is used in a civilized manner.<\/p>\n

In a written response to a question posed by Ulanga lawmaker, Goodluck Mlinga (CCM) in parliament, the Ministry for Works, Transport and Communications said that in ensuring that the law enforcers are intellectually aware, the government is currently training officers in the Defence and Security Organs so that they do not tolerate offenders.<\/p>\n

In his main question, the outspoken Ulanga Member of Parliament (MP), said that cyber-crime offences were increasing, demanding to know the government\u2019s strategies in curbing the vice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government established the Cyber Crime Unit under the police force which is tasked to investigate cyber related crimes including, misleading information and sedition, among other offences,\u2019\u2019 said the ministry adding that everything was being done in collaboration with the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
